Moral Mountain - Momus

People say that I missed the big McGuffin

The suitcase of money and the girl

But Maude walk a mile with me

And you are on a mountain

(He's on the Moral Mountain)

Come the Twitter shitstorm

People shoot me down

Saying there’s not room enough

In this town

But I am eating lunch with chopsticks

High up on a mountain

(He's on the Moral Mountain)

You might think I am

Fiddling while Rome burns

On the world’s smallest violin

Hell I can smell the smoke

But I am on a mountain

(He's on the Moral Mountain)

People say I’m far away

I’m hardly in the world today

But uphill is an excellent view

I can’t hear you bitching

When I’m standing on a mountain

(He's on the Moral Mountain)

My gaze is so definitive

The cities, like infinitive

Split in the book of the world

Why boldly go to space

When you can have a mountain?

(He's on the Moral Mountain)

On yonder hill there stands a maiden

Who she is I do not know

But I might just holler hello

She must be the girl for me

If she is on a mountain

(She's on the Moral Mountain)
